Who is the final boss of Shadow Of The Erdtree?

The final boss of Shadow Of The Erdtree is Promised Consort Radahn, located within the last major region,Enir-Ilim. Technically, you’ll have to fight both him and Miquella as he lends his power and joins the former general during the second phase of the fight.
Promised Consort Radahn is the reincarnated form of General Radahn within the remains of Lord Mohg. You may rememberStarscourge Radahnas the boss whom you have to beat within theRadahn festivalto open the path to the Eternal City ofNokron, and progressRanni’s questline(who also happens to be his sister). If this is confusing at all, we have an in-depth explanation of theElden Ring loreso far.
It transpires that Miquella has set his sights on Radahn as his consort (hence his new title) and has orchestrated a ritual to return him to life with the help of Mohg’s demi-god remains.
Promised Consort Radahn is definitely an upgrade of his former self and may in fact be the toughest boss in Elden Ring. He has a mixture of Gravity and Bloodflame attacks with dual Greatswords. In phase 2 (once he drops to below 65% health) he joins with Miquella and becomes Radahn, Consort of Miquella (congratulations to them, I guess) and will inflict Holy AOEs that are incredibly tricky to avoid.More on the boss fight below.

As stated above, the last boss in the Elden Ring DLC is located at the Divine Gatefront StaircaseSite Of Gracein Enir-Ilim. This is the shadow-infused area beyond Belurat, Tower Settlement which requires a unique ritual to access.
To get to Enir-Ilim, you mustburn the Sealing Treewith Messmer’s Fire. In short, you’ll need to follow these steps:
Depending on the choices you made during their individual questlines, you may have eitherAnsbachorThiollieras an optional summon for the last fight. Be warned, burning the Sealing Tree at the Church of the Bud will lock you out of a few of theNPC’s questlinesand they’ll disappear off the map.

Luckily, Promised Consort Radahn does have some weaknesses you can try to exploit. He is strong against almost all status effects and damage types butweak against Pierce, Holy and Scarlet Rotin phase one.
Other than using the summons mentioned above, some Elden Ring players have found particular luck using the Hefty Rot Pots to inflictScarlet Roton the boss. The recipe for these is found within the Greater Potentate’s Cookbook [9], located in the Ancient Ruins of Rauh, just before entering the ruins beyond the Ancient Ruins West Site Of Grace. The trick is, to get him to phase two as early as possible so you still have a large store of Crimson Flask Tears and summons.
The second phase is much harder to navigate as Radahn will have little to no weaknesses. We recommend rollingintohis AOE attacks as they will be almost unavoidable if you dodge to either side or backward. Likewise, make sure you have completely upgraded and collected allScadutree fragmentsas this isn’t a boss to tackle under-levelled.
It may seem simple but many more players have reported that they have lasted much longer in the fight when using a shield to block some of his oncoming damage. Consider pairing this with any of the Dragoncrest Shield Talismans for added physical damage negation or the Pearl Shield Talisman which boosts 20% of non-physical damage negation when guarding.
